Ruel//Wrong number

Chapter 9: What did I do?

>Ruel's Point of View<

I just stood there. I saw the tears in her eyes, she couldn't even look at me. I could see how scared she was, how uncomfortable I made her. What did I do? I had to find out. I waited till she was out of sight till I started walking back. I had to find crackers, maybe he knew.

Ruel;
Hey man, where are you?

Crackers;
Basket ball courts.
Why?

Ruel;
I'll explain when I see you

I tried to think of anything. I mean we drifted, maybe that was it. But I feel like it's something else. I had to find crackers. I made it to the basketball court. I tried to see if I could find Mataya on the way, it was probably better off if I gave her space. "Hey Ruel whats up?" I nodded my head away from all my friends, signalling him to follow me. I walked over to where no one else was. "Do you know why Mataya would be upset at me?" He looked confused for a second and then realisation was evident on his face. He stayed quiet tho. "What?" I was still so confused. "Look man, there was a rumour going round a while ago. I thought you knew." What rumour? I was still so confused, I never started a rumour. I never heard any rumours about me either, let alone Mataya and me. "What rumour?" Maybe it was about her mum. Maybe she thought I started it.  "That you told everyone she begged you to sleep with her the night of her mums funeral." "WHAT?!" I never touched Mataya, she was my best friend. Yeah, I stayed at her house that night, but only cause she was upset and nothing happened. Did she think I actually told everyone it. That explains a lot. "I'm sorry dude, I thought you knew." It wasn't crackers fault, I couldn't get mad at him. "It's okay dude, I got to find her." *ding* shit I got to get to class. I'll have to find her after.
